What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Be more careful for gods sake!

 

I try, they always tend to jump out right as you begin a long turn and then get indecisive and decide it would be smarter to go back to the side of the road in which they came from at which point they meet the addicted off..er..onroad bumper lol and those 3 are probably 1/3 of what I've come close to so far this season

 

Got my 4:88s installed with the air locker, I just need to wire the compressor up and run wires. Damn strange seeing 75 on the speedo and going 60mph.

 

Awesome were was that?

 

Beckler Road/Forest Service Road 65,a little past the town on Skykomish in WA state

Ha ha! Yup... I know that feeling! When I installed my 4:88s, it actually helped my speedo get closer to the "real" speed, tho! Since I put 35's on my truck first, the truck was going way faster than what the speedo was telling me! Now that I've re-geared, it flip flopped and made me going slower than what the speedo says! It was hard to adjust! I'm only a little bit off at higher speeds (speedo says 65 but only going 60)! It feels like I'm always speeding since I always have the speedo above the speed limit! lol

 

ARB in had to get new rear wheel bearings, buying some today.

 

I got bored so decided to clean all the mud out from under my front end, then sanded, and re undercoated my suspension. looks alot better now.

 

HA! Other peeps should get this bored also, good on you for doing that, I'm pretty anal about cleaning my undercarriage after being in mud

Good job on the under coating, keep that sucker rust free or at least keep to a minimum....

 

For those who didn't get into the Last Group Buy!

Thank Man i am too, I Haven't done it in awhile so it neede to me done. Now it's time to do my rear.

 

Noticed something funny. Anyone else see what's wrong? Pretty sure my truck has been wrecked at some point because of this and because someone tried (and failed) to match the paint on the driver's side.

 

Look they dont know how to spell.

 

If they tried and failed matching the paint, I'd say yeah it was either wrecked or simply the paint was damaged (keyed, door dings, etc.)

the 'S' is where the '5' should be and vice versa, the 5 is upside down too haha.

I think mine was in the same situation as yours, either an accident or damaged paint. I didn't notice until I removed the pinstripe decal that the clearcoat was different directly below that.

 

You got it.

Ha yeah. When I saw it for the first time I was like WTF IS THIS. The paint isn't too bad.. Doesn't look horrible when looking straight on but at an angle it's clearly off. Look at the door and ext cab part compared to the fender and bedside.

 

Nothing but timken and some cheep oil... lol

 

Nothing wrong with that oil. That's what the trucks get at our dealer.

 

72 = 60 me with 4:88's.

After years of different trucks where the spedometer is slow its is very strange to be the other way doesn't it.

 

Yeah it'll take some time to get used to. It's nice gearing up rather than down and having power below 2k. Im going to make a little cheat sheet and tape by the Speedo... 30 = 20, 75 = 60, etc.
